Woodsy, are you a candidate for surgery? I know a bunch of guys who have had it (torn rotator cuffs are common in my line of work) and it is often very successful. The guys I know have almost all gotten back to 100%.

I suspect that I have a slight tear in mine but it is not enough to be a candidate for the knife.

I may be, but I can still shoot my bow, so as long as I can do that.....no knives.....
